A look back at some of the sports happenings during the week of Jan. 9-15:

Thrower Tanner Berg (Watertown) was the men’s winner and pole vaulter Jordyn Huneke (Rapid City Stevens) was the women’s winner. Both won based on their performances over the weekend in an NSU dual sweep over Jamestown. It is the first time in school history that the Wolves had two national winners of such an honor in the same week.

10 years ago on Jan. 14, 2012: Greg and Rhonda Wieker of Aberdeen have redecorated the children’s bathroom in their home into a tribute for a former Northern State coach. The bathroom includes a wooden floor, on which the words “Don Meyer Court” are written, just like the Meyer court at the Barnett Center. The Wiekers even had a dedication ceremony, in which Don Meyer and wife Carmen attended. During the unveiling, Meyer signed his name on the wall of the bathroom.
